This build started when i first ecountetred MrSteele, and his signature build - The Apex frame, and the Ethix V3 motors. Instant love.
This has been a few years now, i know back then that someday i will have build a machine like this, and then last year in 2021, i found the motors used, but in perfect condition... buyed them... the project started. The frame is not the original, its the chinese copy, albeit the best one at least (still hoping that someday i will have the original ApexFrame though).
A year passed since, its 2022. Its ready. Its flying. Honk.
I made custom parts for it, such as the "backpack" - GPS, Transmitter, VTX & 2.4Ghz antennas. Also custom made the holder of the lost model finder beeper.
Did my best to tidy the wireings as best as I could, also part of it as i replaced the motor factory black wires to white ones.
Changed the factory standoffs and most of the screws to aluminium ones, to save weight where i can.
Not fan of GoPro mounts, so using a Turle V2 instead, sure not as good as a GoPro, but for me its enough. At least its lighter and more secured.
Curently its in tuning phase, and i aim to change a few bits here and there.
Also my next dream is a 4k double lensFPV camera, like the Caddx Tarsier V2... in time i will get that also... :)
AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..
Read moreWith the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
